After first writing about Lydia the Great White Shark in March, it’s cool to see where she is headed now. lydia-shark-tracking

Back in March, researchers thought Lydia was headed for Europe, Ireland in particular. Looks like Lydia was in the mood for warmer waters. Lydia was tagged in Florida in March 2013 as part of an effort by the Ocearch Scientific Project, a non-profit organization focused on Great White Shark Research. You can track Lydia in real time, using the Ocearch shark tracker.

Watching Lydia’s progress with modern technology provides amazing coverage of these wondrous apex predators.  MORE
